Does PRETTY URLS not work out of the box?

Permalink
I have my site already up and running (5.6.0.2) but I've tried everything under the sun trying to get the pretty urls to work on that version and nothing has done the trick.

Now I went ahead and did a brand new install with 5.6.1.2 and immediately turned on pretty url's and I get a "NOT FOUND". I have not installed any add-ons at all, no system settings were changed either.

Not Found
The requested URL /about was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at concrete.certain.com Port 80


Running apache 2.2.3

I've tried changing my .htaccess, the request.php without any luck. Anyone have a solution or a understand of how to make this work?

Do you have your .htaccess in the same level as your upper C5 folders?

the .htaccess is in the same folder as where I have all my concrete files.

Can you post your .htaccess file?

Only thing that is in it is the default C5 info.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>


Also tried the variation below from the forums:
# -- concrete5 urls start --
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>
# -- concrete5 urls end --

I'm trying to revisit this as I'm diving back into trying to get this to work on a fresh out of the box installation. Was there any new ideas/code that I may have missed over the few months? Tired some of the newer post about the subject with still 0%. Thanks!
